Mandolin Buyers Guide

I have for years wanted to play the mandolin! This Squidoo lens (link listed below!) is chock full of useful information to get me or you, started in the right direction. Maybe I will find one under the Christmas tree this year? Making music is a part of my spirit and the memories that I have of play together with my father, brother and sons, will keep me going for a long, long time!!

Welcome to The Fisher Family Singers musical blog...

...the blogvoice that chronicles the songs we sing together. History, memories, lyrics and tidbits about those songs enhance our home recordings.

The songs in our song list were recorded 10 years ago! My sons were only 15 and 16 at the time and music was a big part of their homeschooling. I would like to introduce you to the four regular members of the Fisher Family Singers:

George Harvey ~ the senior member and my dad. He usually sings harmony and plucks the upright bass, however there are several songs were he sings lead. As a young man he was a member of the SPEBSQSA, Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America.

Travis Lee ~ my oldest son, sings lead with a Irish tenor sound and strums his acoustic guitar. There are a few songs were he plucks out the harmony using a steel guitar sound with his ROLAND GR-30 Synthesizer.

Anthony Wayne ~ my youngest son, blends his baritone voice with his brothers' and strums his acoustic guitar. He has a wonderful sing songy talking voice when he recites cowboy poetry, too.

Janey Loree ~ myself, who sings lead, harmony and plays the keyboard.

Douglas Wayne ~ as a guest member and my brother, Doug has a rich, vibrato baritone voice and plays the acoustic guitar as well.

Each song link will take you to a new tab where the song will start playing automatically with Quicktime and gives you the option of play the song again. We encourage you to continue reading FFS's blog while the songs are playing! These songs are for singing along with...enjoy!!!
